Usher S-520 review

 

A lack of dynamic bite leaves you with a musical delivery that is always pleasant, but tends to be more relaxing than invigorating

Clear, rhythmic and detailed musical delivery

A touch of dynamic and tonal flatness means excitement and drama suffers

By no means bad speakers, but they don’t quite do enough to challenge the market leaders

Usher Audio S-520 Bookshelf Speaker Review

Extremely detailed ; Incredible build quality ; Fully shielded ; Rock bottom price

Unforgiving of poorly recorded music ; A bit bright ; Tendency to bottom out with bass heavy music at high SPL levels

Usher S-520 Speaker

 

Usher is a fairly new name on this side of the pond, but it's been producing speakers in Taiwan for more than 30 years. The company makes all of its drivers in house, employing Usher's Symme-Motion technology, which precisely locates the voice coil to...
